Unfortunately the book on Bettina Steinke, "Bettina, Portraying Life in Art" by Don Hedgpeth, is out of print and a used copy according to Amazon.com, will cost about $750.00.
I have a taped interview with Bettina by Ed Jonas in June of 1996 in which she discusses her schooling, mentors, and thoughts about being a portrait painter. It is not very instructive in nature but is a nice item to have just to have a connection to this wonderful artist.
On my first visit to Santa Fe, I called Bettina only to find that she was momentarily leaving on a business trip and otherwise would have had me over for a visit. We talked portraiture for a few minutes and she was very pleasant and encouraging.
The tape is "An Interview with Bettina Steinke, June, 1996" and was made available through the American Society of Portrait Artists, Montgomery, Alabama.
